Our Impact
Since 2016, BootUp has worked with over 1500 elementary schools impacting over 950,000 students, providing in-person professional development, coaching, and on-site support that prepare teachers to facilitate coding projects in Scratch and ScratchJr. Through this work, we have been able to impact over 9,000 educators in 84 school districts representing 28 states.
BootUp gave me the confidence I needed to teach coding on the very first day. It’s a low floor with a high ceiling. You don’t have to know anything about coding to start. But once you do, the sky’s the limit."
